The 135 degree screwdriver has a built-in mechanism for rotating the driver portion at the tip, and the screw can be tightened or loosened by the operation of the hand of the handle. For this reason, in the related art, the rotary shaft on the operating side and the driver-side rotor raised by 45 degrees with respect to the rotary shaft are connected using some kind of joint to transmit torque. A combination of a ball point wrench and its socket has been commonly used in joints that have been found in the past. However, Jonto, which consists of a set of ball point wrench and socket, has the principle as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-16649, and the ball point wrench on the wrench (spanner) side and the bolt hole wall surface contact. The torque is transmitted by. For this reason, it is impossible to obtain a rising angle of 45 degrees with one set of joints, and the operability is not smooth and there is a rattling noise, and metal powder easily comes out due to wear.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A medical driver according to the present invention comprises a rotor and an operating portion having a rotating member for applying a rotating force to the rotor, and a rotor shaft having a desired rotor shaft with respect to the shaft of the rotating member. It has a relationship that intersects at an angle. Since the axis of the rotating member and the axis of the rotor are in an intersecting relationship, the rotor and the rotating member are connected using a joint.

By the way, the rotating member for applying a rotating force to the rotor is a part of the operating portion, and when the operating portion is on the side of the grip that is held by hand, the rotating member is on the side of the knob for rotating. Also, while the operating part takes the form of an outer cylinder,
It can also be said that the rotating shaft takes the form of a shaft inserted in the outer cylinder. The configuration up to this point may be the same as the conventional so-called 135 degree driver. For such a driver, the above-mentioned problems can be achieved by replacing a conventional set of joints with the following joints.

In the medical driver according to the present invention, sockets are provided as joints at both axial ends of the rotary core and the rotary member, and the two-headed counterparts capable of transmitting the rotational force by engaging with the respective sockets. It has the composition which combines a joint member which has a joint. For example, the ball point wrench and the socket in the invention of the joint can be applied as the joint in the present invention, but in the present invention, the ball point wrench is provided at both ends of the joint member to make it double-headed, and it is related to each ball point wrench. Mating sockets must be provided at the shaft end of the rotor and the shaft end of the rotating member to form two sets.

As a result, the angle change in one part of the joint can be half of the intended intersection angle of the entire joint, and there is a margin in the engagement to enable more direct torque transmission. become. Further, since there is no relative movement, the rugged feeling disappears, and the problem of generation of metal powder due to wear is solved. In other words, it is completed as a product that can be safely used by 135 degree drivers.

As a more ideal form of the joint, the head has a spherical shape, and the spherical head has a spherical shape with a pin having a pin extending in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the joint. It is possible to apply a combination of sockets having a concave portion for receiving and a wall surface of the concave portion provided with an axial groove in which a pin can be engaged. A joint with this form is
There is no difference in size from the one using the hexagonal wrench structure, it is rather easy in processing, the torque transmission efficiency is excellent, there is no rugged feeling, and the problem of metal powder is released.

The rotor may have a driver portion integrally at the tip (see FIG. 1 etc.). The rotor having the driver portion integrally also has a socket forming a joint. Alternatively, a separate driver bit may be detachable and replaceable (see FIG. 5, etc.). A rotor for attaching / detaching a separate driver bit has a socket that constitutes a joint, and also has a component for attaching / detaching the driver bit. Compared with the one using a rotor that has a driver part integrally, the one using a rotor to which a separate driver bit is attached / detached tends to be too long in dimension ahead of the joint part. As a result, the directness of how the rotational force is transmitted tends to be impaired, so care must be taken in designing the long and short dimensions and the fitting property of attachment and detachment.

The rotor having the driver portion integrally formed at the tip thereof may be replaceable by preparing several kinds of rotors having different driver portions. In this case, since the rotor also constitutes a joint in the socket at the other shaft end, it is necessary to attach / detach the assembly nut that holds the rotor when exchanging the driver portion. On the other hand, if a separate driver bit can be attached / detached and replaced, a driver bit attachment / detachment socket can be provided at the tip (outer end) of the rotor to enable the driver to be removed without removing the rotor. Bits can be easily exchanged. The replaceable item is not limited to the driver bit, and, for example, a bone screw for implant or the like can be attached to the detachable socket.

Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, the rotor shaft is placed in a relationship where the rotor shaft crosses the axial direction of the rotary member by 135 degrees or any other desired angle, and 135 degrees. Since a smooth operability can be obtained even in the driver, it is possible to solve the problem of the generation of the abnormal noise and the discharge of the metal powder due to the abrasion as in the conventional case.
